We would like to remind the School community that no nuts or nut products are to be brought to school, this includes all variety of nuts, peanut butter, Nutella, nut milks or any other products containing nuts. We have many students across all year groups with severe life-threatening allergies and in order to protect them we ask that no nut products are brought to school.

Products that “may contain traces of nuts” are acceptable.

Thank you for your support.
